Ready to listen

Ready to listen: Why, when and how to involve young children and their families in local decisions about health and wellbeing aims to support discussion with young children and their parents/carers about health and wellbeing and to facilitate their involvement in decision-making about local health structures, systems and practice.

Housing and the Health of Young Children

Poor housing is thought to affect 3.6 million children. A higher percentage of children live in overcrowded conditions than any other age group.

This briefing focuses on the needs of such families.

It is complemented by a set of resources to support in the application of the tool.
